Autophagy as a mechanism of radiation sensitization in breast tumor cells. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 17204856 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Current studies to define the mechanism by which vitamin D3 and analogs of vitamin D3 enhance the response to ionizing radiation in breast tumor cells suggest that these effects are mediated, in large part, through the promotion of autophagic cell death. The residual surviving cell population remains in a senescent, growth arrested state, with minimal recovery of proliferative capacity. It is becoming evident that pathways other than or in addition to apoptosis, including senescence arrest, mitotic catastrophe and autophagy, contribute to loss of self-renewal capacity in tumor cells exposed to chemotherapeutic drugs and ionizing radiation. How and why the cell chooses a particular growth arrest and/or cell death pathway remains a puzzle to be solved. |

I had never really thought of myself as a homesteader. That term had always been used for my great-grandparents, my grandparents and my uncle. They moved from one area and into a new part of the country where they homesteaded. They all made their homes near one another and lived there for the rest of their lives. They didn't just build their homes, they made a community that sustained several generations.
Several years ago my husband and I were watching TV. We watched a story about commercial, factory eggs being recalled. The footage showed how the chickens were caged and their living conditions. Seeing that opened our eyes to something that I knew we could do. My mom had raised chickens when I was a kid. I had even taken a family of Silkie chickens to the fair, where they brought home a Grand Champion ribbon! I was raised in the country and grew up around all kinds of farm animals. My husband was raised in the city and loves dogs and cats. We could learn how to raise chickens and give them a happy, healthy life while in return they give us eggs! That is where it started.
Chickens led to gardening. It was because of their fertilizer that I was finally able to grow things in a garden. The soil in our area is dense, heavy clay. We had tried to amend the soil. But individual bags of dirt and manure got expensive and didn't go very far. As the soil was improved, raspberries plants flourished. Rhubarb plants that had been babied for a couple years and still only had two stems began to thrive. They now take over their once barren area! Having an abundance of fruit led to learning how to preserve it. Grandma was the one who made raspberry jam for our family every year. After she passed away, I remember doing something that none of us had ever done – buy raspberry jam at the store. It was a sad day. I cried over my toast because the jam was awful in comparison to hers. It made me realize how special her gifts had always been. The year our garden started to really grow, my mom helped me make my very own jam. What a treasure those ruby colored jars of raspberry preserves were!
We were beginning to discover that in living a life of convenience, grabbing a bag, box or can of food, we were missing out on the tastes of a true home! Slowly we started making changes. Fresh eggs tasted fantastic, but never like Grandma's – until we switched from margarine to real butter. We had been having fresh eggs for a while, so we were used to how much better they tasted. But we hadn't thought about butter. I used it one day on our toast to dip into our eggs and voila' - just like Grandma made! The things that we started doing differently have been simple and yet life changing at the same time.
This led to cooking more and more things from scratch. Now we have goats and are looking forward to having a homegrown source of milk! We are taking little steps that are leading us to do things the way our grandparents did. Our lives are becoming better because of it. We are learning that homesteading isn't just building a home in a new land. It is about making our house a home and about sharing that goodness with others and making where we live a community.

This Sunday, one of the biggest amalgams of sport and commercialism will take place, in Dallas and on TV screens around the world. It's estimated that a record 14 billion people will tune in to watch the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers clash in Super Bowl XLV… well okay, maybe I'm a bit off with the numbers, but trust me, the total viewership is gonna be epic.
Our LA friends at David&Goliath are also going epic in scale, with their most ambitious Kia spot to date. It's got it all: helicopters, tractor beams, Aztec rituals, wormholes. About the only thing that's normal in this spot is the car's colour — traditional TV ad silver.
They've also got a nice behind-the-scenes video for the spot.

Lady Gaga isn't the only one making a statement about the military's ban on openly gay men and women serving in the U.S. armed forces.
Less than a week after Gaga arrived at the MTV Video Music Awards in Hollywood with her 'dates' of several openly gay servicemen and women, an equally provocative art exhibit is opening in Los Angeles to shine light on the push to repeal 'Dont Ask, Don't Tell'.
In 2009, artist Jeff Sheng photographed several closeted service members and shared their stories in his groundbreaking book 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell: Volume 1.'
Now, for the first time, Sheng is showing his unique collection of photographs at the Kaycee Olsen Gallery in Los Angeles.
PHOTOS: Preview Of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' Art Exhibit
The exhibit opens Saturday, September 18 and runs for the next month. Recently RadarOnline.com sat down with Sheng to ask him about this heartfelt and haunting exhibit.
Radar: What inspired you to embark on this project?
Jeff: "It first began around 2008 when I received a few e-mails from closeted service members asking if I had ever considered working on a photo series on 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell.' These service members had seen some of my other photo projects that dealt with activism and identity, particularly my series 'Fearless' on 'out' LGBT high school and college athletes. I was intrigued with the challenge of creating a portrait of someone without revealing their identity, and decided in early 2009 to really work on this series in earnest. When I first started, I didn't expect that eventually I would fly over 100,000 miles and travel to over 25 states in a span of two years to complete the series."
Radar: Since most gay servicemen and women are closeted, how did you find them for the project?
Jeff: "I found a lot of volunteers through word of mouth and by gaining the trust of individuals one by one. Many closeted service members have other closeted friends in the military, and once people realized that I was trustworthy, and that I took my photography very seriously, I got more willing participants. I also posted pictures on my website www.jeffsheng.com early in the stages of my project so people could see quickly the kinds of photographs I was taking, and information on how to
contact me if they were interested."
Radar: Looking at the pictures, there's almost something sad about them – seeing people literally living in the shadows. What was your intent in the way you photographed the men and women?
Jeff: "In many of the photo shoots, I asked the service members how they wanted to be portrayed and then I showed them test images on my digital camera during the photo shoot so they could approve the images. The shadows and lighting were at first more a way for me to aesthetically hide their images – though it also added a lot of intensity and drama to the images.
"As the series progressed, I realized that the words 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' could also just apply to their military service – the idea that we have been fighting in two wars for almost a decade yet its something we don't talk that much about in society – that connection resonated with me. I also began to have service members reenact gestures from war in their pictures to mix up the compositions of the images."
Radar: Can you share any of their personal stories? What did they tell you about serving in the military, and the fear of being outed?
Jeff: "I just self-published the second photobook from the series, 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell: Volume 2′ where I included many personal stories and quotations from these service members as text. Some are just heartbreaking. The first page of the photo book is a copy of an e-mail from the partner of a service member who was in Iraq. While her partner was abroad and serving, she had to undergo treatment for breast cancer and was essentially cut off from the person who she needed the most because of the policy. I am amazed at the amount of turmoil and grief 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' has on relationships and families, and the fear many of them have about losing their careers because of who they are.
"I was also very fortunate to have Congressman Patrick J. Murphy – the lead sponsor of the repeal bill in the U.S. House of Representatives write a foreword for the new book. Activist David Mixner and Major Mike Almy also contributed to the photobook very touching writings on the issue (Major Mike Almy was in town last week as one of the discharged veterans escorting Lady Gaga at the VMAs) – all these various perspectives on the issue really make a strong argument that it's finally time to end this policy."
Radar: Some people might wonder why any gay man or woman would want to service in a military that discriminates against gays. Did any of them talk about their love of country and why they want to serve?
Jeff: "Many of these service members found military service to be the most patriotic thing they could do for the country, and felt that it was their duty to serve. Some also came from a long line of military families. Other did it for financial reasons, though not as many as I assumed at first. Most of them were just proud to be Americans and thought it was an honor to be in the service."
Radar: Did the gay servicemen and women say if they confided in their straight counterparts, and how they were treated?
Jeff: "Many of them have straight friends who know about their sexuality and help conceal their identities. On some of the photo shoots, I was able to meet some of their straight friends and roommates, who were incredibly supportive of me and the project."
Radar: Were the gay servicemen and women you profiled hopeful that 'Don't Ask Don't Tell' would be repealed?
Jeff: "Many seem to be much more hopeful now, than when I first started the series in early 2009. It does feel like we are slowly finally moving to a repeal, but it also seems like the full equality will take
some more time."
Kaycee Olsen Gallery is located at 2685 South La Cienega Blvd in Los Angeles.
The exhibit runs through October 23.

Jeff's 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' series of book are available for purchase at www.dadtbook.com
Editor's note: Next week, the Senate is expected to vote on a Defense Department authorization bill that includes a provision to roll back 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell'. If passed, the Senate legislation would have to be combined with a smiliar bill that passed in the House in May, but even then, the policy would not be completely repealed. First, President Obama would have to certify a Pentagon review of how repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" would impact troop morale. The report is due December 1, and the Defense authorization bill simply gives the Defense Department authority to act on its findings. To date, more than 14,000 service members have been fired under "Don't Ask, Don't Tell".

Professor Green's top-secret missile defense system is no longer of any military significance (and is now [[EverybodyKnewAlready common knowledge available from the Internet]]); Killigan wants the super grass-growing formula he developed as a hobby.* NeverSayDie: Averted.-->'''Kim:''' Mr. Killigan, put down the golf clubs!-->'''Killigan:''' Yeh'll have to pry them from me cold, dead hands!* NoSell: Will Du's stopwatch merely bounced off Killigan when he tried using it.

Kim predicts that she'll last "two weeks, tops"; the next time we see the cheerleaders at practice, [[StatusQuoIsGod Kim is back in charge]].* YoureInsane: Will calls Killigan this when he says that he plans to turn the world into his own personal golf course.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2015
Where did the German Crotzer family come from? What is the German Crotzer family crest and coat of arms? When did the Crotzer family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Crotzer family history? Spelling variations of this family name include: Critzer, Crits, Critser, Creytz and others. First found in Saxony, where the name came from humble beginnings but gained a significant reputation for its contribution to the emerging mediaeval society. It later became more prominent as many branches of the same house acquired distant estates and branches, some in foreign countries, always elevating their social status by their great contributions to society. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Crotzer research. Another 169 words(12 lines of text) covering the years 1654, 1719, and 1867 are included under the topic Early Crotzer History in all our PDF Extended History products. More information is included under the topic Early Crotzer Notables in all our PDF Extended History products. Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: Christian Creytz, who arrived in Pennsylvania in 1738; Philip Critz, who came to Philadelphia in 1741; David Critz, who settled in North Carolina in 1753.
The Crotzer Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Crotzer Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname. This page was last modified on 16 December 2012 at 12:11. Sign Up

The Fight Against Spam, Part 2 | |
Subject: | Usually works well | |
Date: | 2004-05-18 23:57:07 | |
From: | ducasi | |
I've found that the Junk filter works very well, often beating our Spam Assassin setup in identifying spam. However, on my Mac OS 10.3 machine it has (or had) a problem. It never, ever flagged as spam messages which had an old email address of mine in the headers. I made sure this email address didn't appear anywhere in my address book, account settings, or "previous recipients". I tried resetting the system, rebuilding the whole of my Mail system. I tried everything. Nothing worked. Eventually I killed the old email address, but I'd be curious to know what the problem was, and whether it has been fixed since Mac OS 10.3.2. Cheers! |

Online Storage Battle: Which Cloud Back-Up Service Reigns Supreme?
is the mayor of Sync Town, working like iDisk but more reliably. And
since anyone can have a 2GB account for free, there's no reason not to
try it out. Paid accounts are $50 a year for 50GB of storage and $100 a
year for 100GB, so you might decide not to back up your entire hard
drive. But the sync and sharing services are the whole point.
Your Dropbox lives in your User folder and acts like any other folder in your Finder. We added ours to our sidebar for extra convenience.
the Dropbox client puts a new folder called Dropbox into your user
folder, and any files you put in that folder are synced to Dropbox's
servers. You can access those files through a browser by logging in to
GetDropbox.com. You can also install Dropbox on your other computers
(even Windows and Linux machines), associate them with your existing
Dropbox account, and access your files from there. It's meant to
replace clunkier methods, such as emailing files to yourself or carting
them around on USB flash drives.
Dropbox syncs your files
instantaneously--we stuck five JPEGs in ~/Dropbox/Photos, and they
appeared in our list of synced files on GetDropbox.com within 10
seconds. Your Dropbox folder contains folders called Public and Photos
by default. You can share files in the Public folder with friends (even
if they don't use Dropbox) by emailing them a public URL. To get it,
just view your Public folder at GetDropbox.com, click the file you want
to share, and choose Copy Public URL from the contextual menu. You can
email the link or paste it into an IM chat, and your recipient can view
or download the file in their browser.
Any photos you add to Dropbox's Photos folder also appear in an online gallery.
Drag some photos into
the Photos folder within Dropbox, and Dropbox creates an online
gallery. It's not as attractive as MobileMe's online galleries, but
it's an easy way to share photos online—just email friends the link to
the gallery or right-click any photo and choose Copy Link Location to
get links to specific pictures.
You can also set up Shared
folders from which other Dropbox users can upload and download files.
You invite friends by email address, and they're required to sign up
for Dropbox accounts. And if they don't want to install the Dropbox
client on their computers, they can stick to the Web interface only.
Referring friends to Dropbox gets you each 250MB of extra free storage;
grab your referral link from GetDropbox.com >
Account > Referral
Status. You can earn up to 3GB of free space from referrals. Joining
other people's Shared folders does affect your quota, since the files
in that folder now show up in your Dropbox as well.
In our
tests, Dropbox was smooth and stable. And it's convenient: We added the
Dropbox folder to our Finder window's sidebar, plus put an alias on our
Desktop. Status updates appear as Growl notifications, or you can see
them by clicking the menubar icon.
We especially liked how
Dropbox deals with conflicts. If two users are working on the same
file, whoever uploads it last "wins," but the "losing" file is synced
to Dropbox and time-stamped with the name of the computer that did the
edit, so you can figure out which version you want. And we loved
browsing our files on our iPhone: Head to m.getdropbox.com on your
device, and log in to view recent Dropbox activity, browse your files,
and view images and documents right in Mobile Safari.
Dropbox is incredibly convenient and useful, especially if you
have multiple computers and are constantly shuffling files between
them. The robust
forums (forums
.getdropbox.com) and wiki
.com) are great resources for
help and tips.

PRICE: Free for 2GB of storage. 50GB is $9.99/month or $99/year. 100GB is $19.99/month or $199/year.
REQUIREMENTS: Mac OS 10.4 or later
Super-fast syncing across as many machines as you like. Easily share photos and files with friends. Great Web interface, plus a client that integrates seamlessly into Mac OS X. Universal binary.
Joining a Shared folder affects your quota.
SpiderOak is flexible enough to back up anything, to share files easily with your friends, and to sync files between Mac, Windows, and Linux machines. It installs as an actual application, but it's Flash-based, so if you use it on two or more platforms, the experience will be the same.
The Backup tab lets you select categories (to the left) or specific folders to back up.
You can back up as many computers, external hard drives, and network volumes and servers to your SpiderOak account as you want. The other services we tested don't allow you to back up network volumes, but since SpiderOak sells storage in 100GB increments, you're encouraged to back up as much as possible. You select the files and folders to back up in the Back Up tab of the SpiderOak app, or you can just click the checkbox for a preset category, including Dekstop, Documents, Email, Movies, Music, and Pictures. The preferences let you exclude files and folders by wildcard (filenames including *.zip, for example) or exclude files based on their size or age.
SpiderOak keeps all versions of your files, in case you want to restore an older one.
Once files are backed up to
your SpiderOak network, they appear in the View tab, where you can
browse the folder structure for each of your backed-up devices. Select
a folder to highlight the Changelog and Merge buttons. Merge does a
one-time merge of all the files in any two folders on your SpiderOak
network. The Download button restores your selected files to a location
you specify in the preferences.
Your files are encrypted with a
combination of 2,048-byte RSA and 256-bit AES and compressed, so you're
not paying for more storage space than you need. When you change a
file, SpiderOak only saves the changes, so the data blocks for the
parts of your file that didn't change aren't backed up again. And if
you have a file on two machines and back up both to your SpiderOak
network, the file will appear in both machines' View list, even though
it's only stored on SpiderOak's server once. You still see all versions
of your files under the View tab, and clicking a file with more than
one version displays the date each was updated, so you can find the one
you need.
Share sets, which are set up in the Share tab, make
chosen files and folders in your SpiderOak network available to anyone
via their Web browser. You choose a Share ID and Room Key, which are
combined into a URL you give to friends. And the Sync tab lets you set
up Sync sets, choosing two folders in your SpiderOak network that will
always stay in sync on the local machines. We used one Sync set to keep
our ~/Documents/Receipts folder synced between our home iMac and work
laptop, or you could sync a local folder to an external hard drive.
even encrypts your encryption key. The company doesn't know your
password, although you can set up a hint. SpiderOak employees can never
access your data—and if you forget your password completely, neither
can you.
We loved the Sync feature, as well as
the ability to archive files to the SpiderOak network and delete them
off the local machine. If our only complaint is that the SpiderOak icon
stays in your Dock when the app is running, you know there's not much
to complain about.

Well in a battle you can never win when they are so many software competing , everytime some of them will come up with something new to become better. I am using http://www.dmailer.com/dmailer-backup.html and i must say that they allways listen to their users choice and suggestions so that they will be happy aswell . And their software is free and their internet backup storage is cheaper than ever.
From my oppinion after i tested many of softwares out-there i allways camed back to Dmailer .

I wish to see how CrashPlan performs in the cloud backup field.
September 24, 2009 at 6:17pm
I tried Mozy based on this review. I had trouble from the start - backups not going to their server, file retrieval failed. It never seemed to work properly. And when I contacted support, I was ignored. No response to my e-mails, no one answers their phone (kept getting voice mail). AVOID THEM. I'm trying Backblaze, hope they do a better job.

Although the article covers several services for users to explore, I wish that SugarSync and CrashPlan had been reviewed. CrashPlan is an excellent software product with a myriad of options for backing up your data. I presently use it and am very satisfied with it. I use DropBox as well but for file syncing and sharing not backing up critical data. The DropBox forums have lots of comments about users having slow syncing issues when their entire users folder is being synced. DropBox chokes on huge file sets. I hope that a more thorough follow up article comes out that covers more software options and the issue of incremental file syncs that only copy the bytes that are changed in a file.

I recently tried the beta of Time Warp by Jumping Bean Software (JumpingBeanSoftware.com) to do offsite backup and have been very happy with it. I'm already using Time Machine for local backups, and this works with it. Uses Amazon S3, and backing up all of my data only costs a couple of dollars a month.
August 21, 2011 at 7:19am
@MikeSmith, do you still have the Time Warp installer? If so would you mind sending it to me? Jumping Bean SW has disappeared and I need to restore my data! Thanks for any help. email@example.com
June 26, 2009 at 6:09am
Heartedly agree: only 2 apps. Not up to MaximumPC (your sister pub) standards. In Backblaze "Defaults .." review the indicates there were other reviews. What issue were they in?? At present I also use Mozy but it isn't as easy as Carbonite 'sounds.' Fortunately, so far, no need to restore. I also have Desktop HD running with Time Machine for each computer; but, Hurricane Ivan taught me the value of "off site" storage B.U. For a few bucks a month a "Cloud" is well worth it. Just like to be assured of using the best.
June 16, 2009 at 11:45pm
A roundup with only two apps seems quite limited.
I use Mozy ($5 a month, unlimited storage) for a year or so now, works fine, better than CrashPlan did, which I used before that. Then again, they might have caught up meanwhile.

JungleDisk is my back-up client. Buy the software and pay for the disk space you use on one of two server options. You can also configure multiple network drives on the same account. I think a licence covers up to 5 computers and you pay for what you store. Archiving files as well as back-up is possible and you can specify how many versions of files should be retained and for how long. Absent from the cost of all of the options is bandwidth. It's could be easy to exceed bandwidth caps on a first back-up, if you are a user who has limits and transfers a lot of data. In some cases, exceeding your limit can be very expensive. If it's an issue, spread your initial back-up over a couple of billing periods.

The Dropbox and file deletion commentary is a slightly misleading. Yes, if a file is deleted on computer A's dropbox, it is removed on computer B- this is what synching should be expected to do. However, in your account's web interface, you can "show deleted files", and restore deletions from there. I'm not sure what their deleted file retention policy is, but I have an option to restore some files that were deleted 4 months ago.
April 07, 2010 at 8:54am
It's great you have that option, I wish there were more web interfaces to consider it. Online data storage is one of the most effective solutions to prevent data loss but I still think there is room for better. People still lose data even online that's why data recovery companies even exist. We still don't have the perfect storage system, I am not sure we ever will.
June 12, 2009 at 5:58am
Great reviews! I wish Sugarsync had been included in this "online storage battle," but maybe that is the review. Thanks for the info!

Nupur and Mohit Lal on the festival they organise in memory of their father Pandit Durga Lal, coming up this Wednesday.
It has been two decades since the news of the sudden demise of Pandit Durga Lal, legendary Kathak maestro and guru of the Kathak Kendra, New Delhi, shocked the art world. People grieved not only for the loss of an artistic genius and a warm-hearted man in whom one would have struggled to find anything to criticise, but also for his young family. The tragedy that took place shortly after a brilliant performance in Lucknow deprived his daughter Nupur and his son Mohit of a father and a guru rather too early in life. But it's not for nothing they talk of the healing touch of art, as well as its ability to endow immortality.
Nupur, the eldest by six-and-a-half years, has never faltered in her determination to keep alive her father's memory, and along with her mother and brother as well as dedicated members of the art fraternity, has been organising the Pandit Durga Lal Memorial Festival annually. A significant feature of the festival has always been that it features not just Kathak artistes, or disciples of Pandit Durga Lal, but performers from across disciplines.
Carnatic music, Bharatanatyam, Mohiniattam, and various other classical forms come to mind on recalling the festival over the past few years. This year, the festival that takes place at Kamani auditorium on September 8, goes a step further, featuring the band Advaita, which performs a blend of Indian classical and Western music, besides Bharatanatyam by Geeta Chandran and Kathak by Nupur. Here, Mohit, who plays the tabla and other percussions for Advaita, and Nupur, both a Kathak dancer and a vocalist, speak about their approach to the festival and memories of their illustrious father. Excerpts from a chat with the siblings:
On this year's festival
Mohit: For certain reasons we couldn't do the festival for two years and wanted to get back to honouring Baba's memory. Also, this is his 62nd birth anniversary. So we wanted to pay tribute in our own way. We've always had a mix of cultural events. We're all young and we will always want to do new things.
On Pandit Durga Lal as a guru
Nupur: As a guru he was a strict disciplinarian. He never let us feel he was our father. We were equal, like all the other students. And we were not allowed to parrot anything. We had to learn it and bring in our own inputs. This has really helped us stand alone and find our own path. I started training formally under him when I was three and trained until he was there. I was 14 when we lost him.
On his approach to the arts
Mohit: From what I remember he was always into experimentation. For example he danced a duet with Sonal Mansingh, and the way he performed Kathak was also different from what was being performed at the time.
Nupur: He never believed in cultism and never allowed us to be like that also. I remember how students from other gharanas were always so very welcome. He would say whoever is dancing well should get a chance.
On the cards for the show
Nupur: I will be doing a Ganesh vandana that was composed and choroegraphed by my father. It was a very significant part of his work. I will also be doing 'Mangal Varsha', on the rains. This is composed by Alap Desai and choreographed by Geetanjali Lal and me.
Mohit: We are planning to do some new compositions. We are thinking of treating this as a classical concert, starting with Hindustani singing and sarangi, and then the rest of the band joining in. We will also present some compositions that feature in Advaita's album released last year by EMI, "Grounded in Space".

A special dinner tonight with Gerry - the Hotel Manager and a few other well chosen guests. Wines supplied by the ship which was a great treat. Interesting to find out some of the ins and outs of provisioning the ship and getting the crew into tip-top shape for the summer cruises to the Antarctic. Drinks in the bar after dinner also courtesy of Gerry which was greatly appreciated especially as tonight was Karioke night.

I made this witch costume for my youngest, and it came out GREAT. All the fabrics are from Joann's - the dress is black velvet, the cape is this flocked taffeta with spiderweb print. The issue is that the taffeta is stiff (looks fine, especially with the jagged hem, which gives it some movement) and slippery underneath. As my daughter moves her arms and walks around, the cape gradually swivels around until it's backwards! So annoying. I'd love a clever easy-on/easy off solution to fixing this. I already thought of just safety pinning it somewhere or using fashion tape (double sided tape in a pinch?) but there must be a better way.
I always have Hollywood Fashion Tape on hand. It's so super easy to use and that cape will not budge until you take it off.
------Stash: 175.875 yds. @ 04.15.15
Great - looks like Joann's stocks it - will have to swing by before Halloween. :)
If the tape doesn't work (not sure how it will interact with the taffeta), you can also just do a few hand stitches at the shoulder seams. They shouldn't show in the cape because of its flocked pattern. Have your daughter put on the costume so you get the cape placement right, pin it in place at the shoulder seams, and just do a few stitches. This won't interfere with the flow of the cape.
------http://theslapdashsewist.blogspot.com ================= 2007: purchased 115+, sewed 105+ So close to parity, yet so far Trying again in 2008 Yards purchased: 133 Yards sewn: Somewhere around 95 2009? I give up
You know, I wonder if I should do that anyway - the cape could be permanently attached and it really shouldn't affect the stretchy neckline. Hm. Interesting. I did pick up some fashion tape from Joann's - the cheaper version to Hollywood tape (which they also had, but more $$. I'll see if it works first. Can't wait to post pictures of my little trick-or-treaters - my other gal is going to be a clown. :)

Here it is - one of the most heated topics in the history of college football - especially now with the "hated" BCS. Who belongs in the national title game? 2006 is shaping up to put a bit of mud on the face of the BCS, unless a few things go a certain way. With the loss of a few top teams on Saturday - the BCS was helped out a ton. This much we do know... The winner of OSU/Michigan will play for the national title. That's it. It appears if USC wins out, regardless of what everyone else does - they're in. If Notre Dame wins out, it could be between them and the winner of Florida/Arkansas. If Rutgers wins out, what about them? They would have defeated 2 top 10 teams. If WV beats them, what about them? They would only have one loss to a top team, just as some of the other 1 loss schools. What about Wisconsin? They only have one loss to a team playing to get into the national title game? Soft schedule, yes - but you can only play who's on your list. If them, what about Wake Forest? Heck...Boise State looks to run the table on their blue field of death. Plenty of scenarios left to play out, that's for sure. The only reason the BSC may get a pass this year, is many of the top teams square off against each other over the last few weeks. If Texas, Cal and Auburn don't take major dumps last week, it's a much different story though. But, they did and we're still left with what likely will be some level of controversy. So lets debate - speculate the team(s) at the top that you think will table and if they belong in or out!
I would love to see Rutgers in it but I don't think they have a chance even if they do win out. I think it will be USC, mainly b/c they are the last team I want in.
If Rutgers is undefeated they should have a shot at the title. They have played in a weaker conference but they have played some tough teams. And I hate USC and do not want to see them play. I've been to a couple of their games and it's the Worst college atmosphere ever.
"If you can't hear me, it's because I'm in parentheses."
I think that if Rutgers goes undefeated, they deserve to play in the BCS championship game. Which, judging by the BCS standings, they will. Four of the computers had them ranked as the 2nd best team, and the other two had them ranked at 3rd. If Rutgers beats WVU, especially with the loss by either OSU or Michigan, you could easily see Rutgers jump in the standings. It should also be noted that USC has some very losable games remaining, and personally, I don't think they're that good. They have games against Cal, Notre Dame, and UCLA, all games that they could lose pretty easily
Wisconsin is ineligible for a BCS bowl due to a two-team per conference limit. Since they can pass neither Michigan (due to an early-season loss) nor Ohio State, they will go to the Capital One Bowl, which is total BS because they'll probably wind up around #5 in the BCS rankings, as six teams ahead of them have to play each other (Notre Dame @ USC, Rutgers @ West Virginia, and Arkansas vs. Florida).
Originally Posted by sodakjoe It should also be noted that USC has some very losable games remaining, and personally, I don't think they're that good. They have games against Cal, Notre Dame, and UCLA, all games that they could lose pretty easily That's the problem with the computers. USC is going to jump up if they win those games because of their strength of opponent. I don't think I would even watch a game between OSU and USC. They are my two of my three least favorite teams of all time.
Another big Rutgers supporter here. IMO, they deserve it if they win out. I just think they'll get screwed, even with the computers. Would be nice if there was a way to calculate where they'd fall in the BCS if they win out and were ranked like 3rd or 4th by the voters. I think they'd for sure fall short of USC and likely Florida - possibly ND.
IMO it should be Rutgers (assuming they are unbeaten)! If West Virginia would have been undefeated, do you think there would be any doubt that the title game would be OSU/Michigan vs. West Virginia??? No. Why not Rutgers? They will have played the exact same conference schedule and about the same non-conference schedule. Who has WV played? They played 3 crap teams and Maryland. Rutgers played South Florida and 3 crap teams. This is the case of another team getting screwed by the Pre-season polls (just like Auburn a few years ago). Because Rutgers wasn't ranked, they will have a hard time getting into the title game if they are unbeaten. This whole rant is assuming Rutgers wins out...and if they don't, the argument still applies because it has happened and probably will happen again.
Rutgers! Here is my point. When the BCS was dreamed up several years ago a specific list of conferences were deemed "BCS Conferences" The Big East is one of those conferences was named one of those. We can argue over and over about how the defection of several good teams has resulted in a "weaker" conference, but with those arguements aside, if there are 2 undefeated teams from BCS conferences I believe those teams should be in the Championship game. Go Rutgers!

I did not know there was a maximum per conference. Very interesting. Thanks for that nugget! IMO on Wisky - they don't belong in a BCS bowl.
What about a OSU/Michigan rematch? PS. I hope that doesn't happen.
This debate every year is the reason a playoff should be instituted. Converting some bowls to playoff bowls would also mitigate some of the complaints about the watering down of bowl presige by having so many. There would still be bubble teams for the playoff, but it would be an improvement. Maybe send all BCS conference champs plus a couple at-large teams? I'm pulling hard for the non-traditional power, Rutgers. However, it is unlikely they will play for the championship, even if they finish undefeated.
Yeah well, ya know, that's just, like uh, your opinion, man.
Oh, on the Rutgers vs. West Virginia schedule, at least Rutgers played a Big 10 school in one of their non-conference games. Granted, Illinois is bad, but I'm guessing Rutgers didn't know that when they scheduled them. Most of the time when a school like Rutgers plays anyone from the Big 10, the Big 10 wins. They've got to get some "credit" for that, as they can't control how good/bad Illinois was.
Originally Posted by cycloneworld What about a OSU/Michigan rematch? PS. I hope that doesn't happen. I hope the same. It's possible, yet I pray it won't happen. IMO, it's not only unfair to the winner - it's unfair to the fans and all of college football. How often do teams face one another and the very next game for each team - is to play that same team again? Almost never - and that's how it should be - never. It would be a very bad thing for the BSC title game to have a "been there, done that" theme.
And what about teams without conference championship games? Is it fair if they leap frog a legitimate NC contender with an "extra" loss in the conference title game?

It seems redundant to have the "Top 5" and then a "Top 10" on the same actress just 24 hours later. She's hot (or she was before she used her body as a tat-it-note) but I don't think she rates that much to be worth the attention, especially when it goes to a movie that doesn't show any skin!

Garza's value peaking at right time
Matt Garza pitched impressively. Then he spoke candidly.
Late Monday night, after what might have been his final start for the Chicago Cubs, Garza confirmed reports that his representatives have spoken with the team about a contract extension. The chances for a long-term deal, Garza said, are "as real as a trade." But he also acknowledged the possibility of a move before the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline.
"It's in both our courts," Garza said of his talks with the Cubs, following an 8-2 victory over the White Sox at US Cellular Field. "Obviously, they have more cards to hold. At the end of the day, it comes down to my decision on an extension. On a trade, it's their decision.
"I like being a Cub. I want to get this team to October and win it here. Like I said before, it'd be one hell of a party. But I'm just going to get ready for every five days.
"It's up in the air — 50/50."
The reality: The probability of a Garza trade remains high. He is set to become a free agent after this season. The Cubs' rebuild has been frustrated by the new collective-bargaining agreement, and trading Garza, 29, is one of their best ways to add close-to-the-majors talent. Of great significance, his value is peaking at precisely the right time; he is 4-0 with a 0.97 ERA over his past five starts.
The Texas Rangers had two scouts at Monday's game. The Cleveland Indians, Pittsburgh Pirates, Toronto Blue Jays and San Diego Padres had one each. They watched Garza work deliberately, but effectively over seven innings on a muggy night. He threw 102 pitches and permitted an earned run on only one of them — a home run to left by rookie catcher Josh Phegley.
Manager Dale Sveum praised Garza's fastball velocity and ability to weave in his curveball, slider and changeup. "Outstanding again," Sveum said.
So, which of those scouts might file the report that sends Garza to a new team?
The Padres, last in the National League West after losing 10 in a row, look like sellers. The Jays probably are more interested in Garza as a free agent after this season than a July trade acquisition, since they are 9½ games back in the American League East. And the Pirates don't have an urgent need for rotation help, now that A.J. Burnett is back from the disabled list, although they could become more involved if Garza remains available late in the month.
The Rangers and Indians are known to have strong interest. The Boston Red Sox, Washington Nationals, and big-spending Los Angeles Dodgers can't be ruled out. The Dodgers are still involved, a source told FOXSports.com, even after their recent acquisition of Ricky Nolasco.
The Rangers probably present the best fit. With four starters on the disabled list and urgency to win the World Series, they have an obvious need for Garza. They also possess one of the deepest farm systems in baseball. It's unclear whether Texas would part with 22-year-old lefty Martin Perez, who's 2-1 with a 1.85 ERA in four big league starts in 2013. But the Rangers can afford to part with a third-base prospect — Joey Gallo or Mike Olt — since they have Adrian Beltre under contract for at least two more seasons.
The Indians are highly unlikely to trade prized 19-year-old shortstop Francisco Lindor, and it would be downright stunning if they did so for a rental such as Garza. Trevor Bauer's value has declined this year — he has a 1.472 WHIP at Triple-A — but Cleveland's first-round pick last year, center fielder Tyler Naquin, is having a good season at Class-A Carolina.
Is it certain Garza will be moved? No. Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com first reported Monday that the Cubs and Garza's camp had recent discussions about a long-term contract. Our Ken Rosenthal subsequently confirmed those talks had occurred, adding that the Cubs lately have become more comfortable with Garza's health.
Garza only recently returned from a 10-month absence from the major leagues because of two injuries: He missed the last two months of the 2012 season with a stress reaction in his right (throwing) elbow, and he didn't debut this year until May 21 because of a left lat strain he suffered in spring training.
At the very least, I'm willing to credit the Cubs for strategic public relations. By raising the possibility of a long-term contract with Garza — however theatrically — the Cubs sent a not-so-subtle message to the teams inquiring about him: Matt Garza is healthy. We promise. In fact, he's so healthy that WE want him, too!
Despite all the time lost to injuries, Garza probably wants to be paid like Anibal Sanchez — who nearly signed with the Cubs last winter before agreeing to a five-year, $80 million contract with the Tigers. The right-handers are close statistical comparisons, according to Baseball-Reference.com, and have similarly checkered health histories. But the Cubs probably won't spend that much on Garza. Their last major investment in a starter — $52 million for Edwin Jackson — hasn't turned out very well. And the Cubs would be wise to keep enough room in the budget for a Jeff Samardzija extension.
If the Cubs trade Garza and cite financial limitations as one reason, the logical follow-up will be whether they could have afforded him if it hadn't been for Jackson's contract. That question will be uncomfortable for president of baseball operations Theo Epstein and general manager Jed Hoyer to answer, unless Jackson improves upon his performance this season (5-10, 5.50 ERA).
The Cubs could keep Garza through the end of the season, make him a qualifying offer and collect a compensatory draft pick if he signs elsewhere. But let's be honest: They don't want that. They want to get another organization's best prospect — a player who will deliver superior performance, at a low salary, for the Cubs' next contender.
Garza said Monday he believes the Cubs are "close" to winning again, although he might not be here to see it happen. When I asked him which team's uniform he expects to be wearing Aug. 1, he said, "I'm hoping the Cubs, but I don't look that far. What's today, the 8th? Probably the 13th will be the next day I look at — five days from now."
That's when Garza is slated to make his next start. There's no guarantee it will be for the Cubs.
